Farewell

Got up at 3:40 a.m. to take Bonnie and her parents to the airport. Why do flights always leave at inconvenient times? Actually, I can't think of what time would be convenient, but to at least have a decent night's sleep before flying would be helpful.
All goodbyes are painful in some way and I've experienced a few hard ones here. At least with family you KNOW you're going to see them again. They can't really get rid of you. But there are no guarantees with our international friends.
This time there is no pick-up at the end of the summer. It pretty much underscored my day but I was aware of God's grace too. My husband was perfect too and I am grateful for his understanding and compassion.

We feel for you but cannot really understand. It must be so tough but Father God is amazing and He gives us amazing partners, husbands, wives and friends for the journey.
